YOU MUST PRESS THE ALT KEY ON THE REBOOT. This will open up the bootable options for the machine. Select the USB bootable installer you created and run through the installer selecting the Ext hard drive for that OSX as seen in the early part of this video i.e Yosemite 1010. Once the OSX is installed create use for the new OSX you just installed on that drive and run the updates. Repeat the process for all other OSX you want to install.

Adding a Wi-Fi printer to a network using the WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup Method) feature on your Broadband Router is, well straightforward. Press the button on the WPS on the router and then press the Wi Fi button on the Printer. 
The machines talk to each other and less than a minute the printer is now on the network.
The Question I have is how do you do that if your Router is a Airport Extreme, there is no fancy button for WPS on the Apple Device what do you do. The process is rather simple but before we go into that I would have to ask one question.
The zoom function on a mac has been around for awhile and I have enjoyed using it on my MacBook Pro with the trackpad and the pinch method (index figure and thumb) to zoom in and out of a safari page. The issue I have found is what to do when you dont have a trackpad to use that method?
